Drive for 25
It's definitely too late to call those pre-season predictions but I have finally compiled my list of predictions for the Waffle Cup playoffs, ranked within a division. Simply put, these are my predictions about which teams will make the best GDTs this year.
Eastern Conference:
Atlantic Division:
W - 1 - Montreal Canadiens
X - 2 - Detroit Red Wings
X - 3 - Ottawa Senators
X - 4 - Tampa Bay Lightning
5 - Toronto Maple Leafs
6 - Florida Panthers
7 - Boston Bruins
8 - Buffalo Sabres
Metropolitan Division:
Y - 1 - New York Islanders
X - 2 - Carolina Hurricanes
X - 3 - Philadelphia Flyers
X - 4 - NJ Devils
5 - Pittsburgh Penguins
6 - Washington Capitals
7 - NY Rangers
8 - Columbus Blue Jackets
Western Conference:
Pacific Division:
Z - 1 - San Jose Sharks
X - 2 - Vancouver Canucks
X - 3 - Edmonton Oilers
X - 4 - LA Kings
5 - Calgary Flames
6 - Phoenix Coyotes
7 - Anaheim Ducks
Central Division:
Y - 1 - Minnesota Wild
X - 2 - Winnipeg Jets
X - 3 - Chicago Blackhawks
X - 4 - Colorado Avalanche
5 - Dallas Stars
6 - St. Louis Blues

Legend:
X- Denotes predicted playoff team
Y- Denotes predicted division champion
Z- Denotes predicted conference champion

Feel free to disagree with any of my predictions... other than maybe the Habs on top of the Atlantic. I assumed that no single team will have more than one GDT in the Waffle Cup playoffs this year.
